I'd be doing cartwheels if we can get him for a 3rd rounder or less. Folks, we are talking Fournnette. The guy would be a beast on our team.

Yeah, I get that you think I'm wrong. Thing is, I'm not. I didn't say we didn't move up as you imply. I pointed out that the situations were very specific ... every single time. Which is correct, they were. You're the one who was wrong here. Here's what I said again, and it's true again: Each time we traded up, we were either acquiring a franchise QB with a huge stash of draft capital we'd built up specifically for the purpose, and that other than that we didn't leave ourselves any empty rounds, trading only picks from rounds where we had two or more. That's the pattern. And if they continue it, it would make total sense that they would at some point during this draft trade one of our two sixth-round picks to move up. That would move us up very little in the 2nd round, though.
And if you feel the need to kid yourself that we didn't use BPA ... hey, that's your business. I'm not going to try to persuade you of something you're not willing to believe. But for others reading here, the huge majority are very very aware that Beane constantly talks about BPA, literally every single time he's asked, for a very simple reason, and that that reason is that he's a BPA guy. He uses BPA because he believes in it.
You're right, "there's no magic Big Board in the sky," but there actually is a Big Board at OBD, probably in Beane's office, and he'll use it. Again, that's fine if you want to ignore that, go ahead.
And yes, they've built a very balanced team. They build the core for the future through the draft. And they fill in holes and balance the team by filling in needs through FA and occasionally trades such as the Diggs trade. Every year he talks about using FA (and trades) to fill in the gaps so he cau use BPA in the draft. Again, he's said so a million times and he's backed up his words every time.
I agree. Imho, he won't waiver much off his BPA board.

Great discussion but it's way too early to be giving Knox love. He has great potential and obviously needs to improve. This season will tell us a little

Clowney isn't worth 20 million. No way the Bills will spend that much.

I can assure everyone Gurley is not done. Rams went away form leaning on him, he wanted more touches and was ready.
McVay didnt even use him in the SB and has regretted ever since.
His demise is greatly exaggerated by fantasy football people who got burned drafting him as high as they did. He isnt going to be a bell cow, and shouldn't, but he can be part of a 2 headed monster and be just fine. His knees aren't shot, they just need to reduce wear to extend his career.
People also forget Rams OL has been getting worse and McVay has been hyper focused on letting Goff throw a ton. Gurley was under used, not shot.
I would take Gurley in a damn heartbeat. Him and Singletary would be freaking awesome.
We don't truly know. With that said, I agree with everything you said. Beans get it done. Also, think Gurley will get us lots of tds in the red zone.

I really think the Rams got rid of him due to his huge contract. I'm not totally sure it was because of his knees. I'm sure that played a part though. I think he's worth a 2 year contract at around 5 to 6 million total.

Improving the run will open up the pass game.
I'm not a huge M Gordon fan but I'm interested to see where this goes
I concurr. Not a big fan of his either. I'd rather have Gurley if he's healthy. However, both would be a welcomed upgrade to our offense. It's just a matter of compensation.

He’s turned the ball over 3 times in the last 3 years out of 771 touches.
I stand corrected. Thanks. Sorry for the bad info.

He is a no for me as well. I'm here in San Diego and have watched the majority of his games. I don't feel like he's worth the compensation. Sure he will help the team but he has too many negatives for me. He is not a leader, turnover friendly, plays soft, and often disappears in games. Just my 2 cents.

A good trade. Only thing I’m worried about is his character concerns! Not a good teammate or a good guy!
Kind of an off note post. I play plenty of fantasy football. Diggs has been a feast or famine guy. That tells me he often had poor production games. Lots of factors at play such as Minn. wanted to run the ball and Thielen was the featured WR. Just thought I'd mention it and see if there's anything to it...

I did not include players who were cut and available to sign before FA started since people on here don't seem to be taking those players into consideration.
Update...
So far there have been 20 signings by 13 teams. The Bills are 1 of 19 teams to not sign someone.
The Miami Dolphins have signed the most free agents (4) and committed over $200M to free agents, followed by the Cleveland Browns (3 and $100M).
- Baltimore Ravens - Michael Brockers, DT
- Carolina Panthers - Stephen Weatherly, DE
- Carolina Panthers - Juston Burris, S
- Chicago Bears - Jimmy Graham, TE
- Cleveland Browns - Case Keenum, QB
- Cleveland Browns - Austin Hooper, TE
- Cleveland Browns - Jack Conklin, OT
- Denver Broncos - Graham Glasgow, G
- Detroit Lions - Halapoulivaati Vaitai, OT
- Houston Texans - Eric Murray, S
- Miami Dolphins - Ereck Flowers, OT

- Miami Dolphins - Kyle Van Noy, LB
- Miami Dolphins - Byron Jones, CB
- Miami Dolphins - Clayton Fejedelem, S
- New York Giants - James Bradberry, CB
- New York Jets - George Fant, OT
- Oakland Raiders - Nick Kwiatowski, LB
- Philadelphia Eagles - Javon Hargrave, DT
- Washington Redskins - Wes Schweitzer, G
I like that the Bills aren't reaching and over paying for free agents. I'm one of the biggest skeptics out there. However, my thinking had changed over the years. Beane and McDermott have been really solid in there rebuilding of this team. Their prior experience in Carolina really shows. I'm willing to trust their moves. They have earned that right in my mind.

that doesn't make it better, both contracts are terrible
Is he an upgrade to Carr? I think the game may have passed Gruden. I'm a big Mayock fan though. Seems like a questionable and risky move.

I think the bills shouldn't over pay for a free agent WR. The draft is so deep with quality wr. I wouldn't mind the Bills making a move to get Robby Anderson. He has made big plays consistently over a 3 year period of time. I think he is ranked 3rd in 30 plus rd receptions. Ant thoughts ?

Can't wait for the Brady news.
Would anyone look at maybe calling the Jaguars about Fournette?

Last season Fournette showed he is an effective pass catcher. We all know he can ran the ball well. This is an opportunity to get a complete back who is still very young. Drafting a back is a big unknown. With that said, the baggage is a concern. If his head is right and the price is reasonable (like a 4th round) I would love to get him.
